[0029] Therefore, the present invention has been made in an effort tosolve the problems mentioned above, and an object of the presentinvention is to provide a holder of small pieces designed toconveniently carry and use several kinds of small pieces with smalldiameter and to easily store them in a arranged state upon theirstorage.

[0030] [Construction of Invention]

[0031] To accomplish the above object, the present invention provides aholder of small pieces that consists of a coil spring and wherein itsinlet narrows step by step to form a concave portion connected by acertain section and further form a convex portion that is outwardlyprojected.

[0032] Accordingly, the small pieces such as a ball pen can simply fixby inserting its end portion in the above inlet and narrowly holding itby a concave portion.

[0033] Another characteristic of the present invention is provided aholder of small pieces which consists of a coil spring and wherein itsinlet narrows step by step to form a concave portion connected by acertain section and further form a convex portion which is outwardlyprojected, and from the concave portion to the end portion narrows stepby step, the end portion being consisted of a hook portion.

[0034] According to the present invention, the above hook portion iscarried or stored by hanging to a key ring and the like. Ball pen orgolf tee and the like are inserted into its inlet, the concave portiongrips small pieces such as ball pen or golf tee by elongation of concaveportion and convex portion and thus prevents from easily beingseparated. When the small pieces are gripped and pulled out by addingsome pressure, they can be simply separated and conveniently used.

[0035] Still another characteristic of the present invention comprises aholder which consists of a coil spring and wherein its inlet narrowsstep by step to form a concave portion connected by a certain sectionand further form a convex portion which is outwardly projected,extending from the convex portion, and the end portion forms ahorizontal combining portion; and a connecting ring wherein thecombining portion of the holder has a combining groove and forms a ringportion in one end portion of other side.

[0036] According to such construction, the holder can use by combiningits end portion in various types of the connecting rings, and the abovecombining groove can consists of a screw groove for a further strongfixing.

FIG. 2 is a cross sectional view of the holdershown in FIG. 1. Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, the holder (1) according tothe present invention consists of a coil spring, is provided with theinlet (2) at its one side in which the inlet (2) narrows step by step toform a concave portion (3) and a convex portion (4) is outwardlyprojected from the concave portion (3).

[0039] The holder (1) of the present invention itself has an elongationin the longitudinal direction and has some elongation in the sidedirection.

[0040] Accordingly, when an end portion of small pieces such as ball penor golf tee is pushed in the inlet (2) of the holder (1), it is pushedin the outside direction of the concave portion (3) of the holder (1)and inserted therein. The entire holder (1) consisted of a coil springis properly elongated and the end side section of the small pieces isnarrowed and hold by the concave portion (3) to maintain a fixed state.

[0041] In order to separate the small pieces from the holder (1), thesmall pieces are simply separated by pulling them by addition of somepressure. Particularly, if the small pieces are pulled by twisting themin a counter direction to the rolled direction of the holder, they aremore easily separated. The reason is that when the coil spring istwisted in the rolled direction, the spring is more strongly fixed bythe spiral frictional effect occurred in the rolled direction.

[0042] FIGS. 3 to 5 show the second example according to the presentinvention. FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing one example of theholder according to the present invention. FIG. 4 shows a concrete stateof using the holder shown in FIG. 3. FIG. 5 shows another state of usingthe holder of FIG. 3.

[0043] With reference to FIGS. 3 to 5, the holder (11) according to thepresent invention consists of a coil spring, is provided with the inlet(12) at its one side in which the inlet (12) narrows step by step toform a concave portion (13) and a convex portion (14) is outwardlyprojected from the concave portion (13).

[0044] Further, an inclined portion is formed to narrow from the concaveportion (14) to the end step by step, and a hook portion (15) is formedat the end portion.

[0045] The holder (11) constructed as in the above has an elongation inthe longitudinal direction and has some elongation in the side sectionaldirection.

[0046] Accordingly, when the end portion of the small pieces such asball pen or golf tee is pushed in the inlet (12) of the holder (11), itis pushed in the outside direction of the concave portion (13) of theholder (11) and inserted therein. The holder (11) consisted of a coilspring is properly elongated and the end side section of the smallpieces is narrowed and hold by the concave portion (13) to maintain afixed state.

[0047] In order to separate the small pieces from the holder (11), thesmall pieces are simply separated by pulling them by addition of somepressure.

[0048]FIG. 4 shows one example of the state wherein the holder (11) ofthe present invention is connected with a connecting ring (16). It showsa state in which a plural number of holders (11) are connected toprovide golf tees (17) having respective different sizes. In this case,since a plurality of golf tees can be conveniently carried, the golftees can be properly selected and used, while playing golf.

[0049] Referring o FIG. 5, a plural number of holders (11) are connectedwith respective connecting rings (16) that is provided with hanger (18)placed on table and the like. By doing so, pen (19) or other smallpieces are provided with the respective holders (11), so that itsidentification can be clear and its selective use can be convenientlymade.

[0050]FIG. 6 shows the third example according to the present invention.Referring to FIG. 6, the holder (21) according to the present example isconsisted of a coil spring and provided with the inlet (22) at its oneside. The inlet (22) narrows step by step to form a concave portion(23). Again, a curve is formed outside the middle of the holder (21) andprojected to form a convex portion (24).

[0051] The holder is extended from the convex portion (24) and its endportion consists of a combining portion (25) having the horizontality.

[0052] Further, the holder (21) further comprises a connecting ring(26). This connecting ring (26) forms a combining groove (27) at its oneend portion. The combining portion (25) positioned at the end portion ofthe holder (21) is inserted and combined in the combining groove (27).In such a connected state, a key ring and the like are connected.

[0053] The above combining groove (27) can be a perforated hole. If thecombining portion (25) of the holder (21) is pushed in the combininggroove (27) consisted of a groove or hole, the peripheral section of acombining portion (25) and the inside section of a combining groove (27)have a spiral contact and are not easily separated. They can beseparated only after they are pulled by adding a strong pressure or aholder (21) is pulled in one direction, that is, while twisting in acounter direction to a rolled direction of the coil spring.

[0054] The holder (21) of the present invention constructed as in theabove itself has an elongation in the longitudinal direction, andfurther has some elasticity even in the side sectional direction.

[0055] Therefore, if the end portion of the small pieces such ball penor golf tee is pushed and inserted in the inlet (22) of the holder (21),it is outwardly pushed in the concave portion (23) of the holder (21)and inserted therein. The entire holder (21) consisted of a coil springis properly elongated and the end side portion of the small pieces isnarrowed and hold by the concave portion (23) to maintain a fixed state.

[0056] In order to separate the small pieces from the holder (21), theyare simply separated by adding some pressure to the small pieces fromthe holder (21) and twisting and pulling them.

However, the holder (21)itself is formed in a spiral shape. Therefore, the combining portion(25) located at the end portion can be further firmly and spirallycombined with the spiral groove (28).

[0058]FIG. 9 shows, as one example, a state wherein the holder (21) ofthe present invention is connected with a key ring (29) through aconnecting ring (26). A plural number of the holder (21) are connectedto provide a golf tee (17) with the respective different size, so thatthe holder can be conveniently carried.

[0059]FIG. 10 shows another combined shape of the holder. A plurality ofthe combining grooves (27) are formed in the outside section of theconnection ring (31) and simultaneously a plurality of holders (21) aredirectly combined and used. FIG. 11 is a side sectional view thereofthat illustrates the construction wherein the belt hanger (32) isprovided in one side section of the connecting means (31).

[0060] Accordingly, since a plural number of small pieces are mountedconcurrently, they can simply wear to the clothing belt and convenientlycarry.

[0061]FIGS. 12 and 13 show the other state of using the holder accordingto the present invention. Referring to FIG. 12, a plural number ofholders (21) are provided with a hanger (33) that is placed on table bya connecting ring (26). Pen (19) or other small pieces can be providedwith the respective holders (21) to display. FIG. 13 shows other stateof the hanger. A plural number of the combining holes (36) are formed onthe upper section of the hanger (35). The combining portion (25) of therespective holder (21) can be combined with the combining hole (36) tofix and use the small pieces.

[0062] Particularly, in FIG. 13, since the holder (21) can beselectively stick from the upper side or lower side, the fixingdirection of the small pieces can be which of the upper side or lowerside.
